Signs you’re growing up

Posted on Friday 21 April 2006

Ironic I’d get this on my birthday…

1. Your houseplants are alive, and you can’t smoke any of them.

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question.

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge.

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

5. You hear your favorite song in an elevator.

6. You watch the Weather Channel.

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of “hook up” and “break up.”

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14.

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as “dressed up.”

10. You’re the one calling the police because those %&@# kids next
door
won’t turn down the stereo.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

12. You don’t know what time Taco Bell closes anymore.

13. Your car insurance goes down and your car payments go up.

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonald’s leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16. You take naps.

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of
one.

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset,
rather  than settle, your stomach.

19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms
and
pregnancy tests.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer “pretty good shit.”

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time.

22. “I just can’t drink the way I used to” replaces “I’m never going
to
drink that much again.”

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work.

24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar.

25. When you find out your friend is pregnant you congratulate them
instead  of asking “Oh shit what the hell happened?”

Bonus:

26: You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that
doesn’t apply to you and can’t find one to save your sorry old butt.
Then you  forward it to a bunch of old friends ’cause you know they’ll
enjoy it.

    Happy belated Birthday!! Mine was on the 24th. And I’m so feeling 3/4 of that list… well, maybe close to all of it!
